Abstract:

The biomining can happen in basalt rocks from ridges which contains around 25% Mn in the form of different minerals and oxides due to deep sea hydrothermal activity. The prime goal of this experiment was to demonstrate Mn mobilization from natural Mn minerals and oxides using striping voltammetry from basalt near deep-sea hydrothermal vents (DSHVs) by a potential bacterial isolate R6 which was isolated from this environment. Natural basalt sample was collected from the carls berg ridge during ABP-36 cruise and was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffractometry.
